OK guys I received a project from a buddy, needs some work on it; however it's a sln project file in 2005 and I use 2003. I really do not want to have to install 2005, as I have no need to upgrade right now. I have seen other converters, but none to go from 2005 to 2003. Is there any other solution? Thanks.

Need a way in C++ to determine how much memory a user has on their graphics card. Either DirectX or some other way. Any leads? ===================

I doubt it. Windows is Microsofts #1 channel to get more of MS software on to your machine, which means more $ for Microsoft. Maybe he means that Windows will be a platform between your computer as a box, and the internet where all applications are. Who knows... could be way off with that one. ===================

Yeah, I have been fooling with it for the last month, looks really cool. I think things like this are going to give Google a run for its money. Google really hasn't innovative as much lately as they did when they were younger. They seem to be aquiring more than creating. And everything is in beta, so it's an excuse for things not to work. I do not know the technology they are using. Sorry. I am sure anyone who does, probably couldn;t say too much about it :) ===================

Play with my dog ;) He is usually eagerly waiting when I get home. After I wear him out, or he wears me out. I take care of things around my house. I have side projects, hobbies, that I will dabble in from time to time. However, I do work on some of my side projects[^]. ===================**

I have devloped in ColdFusion and other web based languages for the last 9 years. The good thing for me was that I have a strong C++ background. The thing I find hardest for people making the transition is: 1) Object Oriented: Making the trans. to languages that use structures, classess, definitions, etc. Is sometimes a hard concept for web developers. 2) Variable Types: Most web languages treat everything just as a variable, unlike .NET, C++, etc. where there are integers, booleans, strngs, constants, etc. 3) Compiling & Debugging: Brings on a whole new concept with .NET, C++, etc. development.. web languages like ColdFusion are compile on the fly. Developers have to get use to debugging and compilation errors. 4) Memory Allocation and Clean Up: Unlike ColdFusion you will also have to worry about memory allocation, and cleaning up your variables. This is really important, because you will create programs with a lot of memory leaks. The best thing to to hit up a bunch of tutorial sites, read some books that give you little projects to develope. For the most part you should be fine as long as you study up on the basics and continue to improve your skills on the side. Good luck! ===================**

Is it under warranty? I wonder if that would even be covered by warranty. That totally sucks. I have dual monitors, and I switch them every so often. Sorry to hear about that. :doh: ===================**

I read EULAs. But what I find so frustrating, as a software developer, are those who think they have an option to install the software without agreeing to the EULA… when it clearly says “By installing this product you agree to the following terms.”.. Yet not a month goes by where I come across someone who thinks differently. Oh well. :doh: ------ I am the sole owner of all comments/statements made by myself, and they do not represent those of my company in any way.

"SmartTags" are indeed a cool technology, and indeed have their place in the IT world. But I will say I kind of agree that even if it is the end users option, I will still be a upset if my companies website had SmartTags to my direct competitors website – just because they have ad-words with Google. NOW I know this is not what it does now, but I have a strange feeling that it will somehow find its way to this scenario. But who-knows, I am not Google. My only point is SmartTag like technologies have to be careful, because situations like the one above can get really sticky really quick. ------ I am the sole owner of all comments/statements made by myself, and they do not represent those of my company in any way.

I had an experience once where my manager came to me with a problem: He had written an app in a language (Cold Fusion) that could not handle the task he was trying to accomplish. He asked me for suggestions, I suggested PHP, because it covered the shortcomings of Cold Fusion for this particular project. He asked me to recode the thing in PHP, 14 days later when I was showing him it… he asked me “So is this coded on Cold Fusion”. I replied: “No, why…” He said: “Well I am not too familiar with PHP and wanted to get in there and mess around with the Cold Fusion code.” :wtf: ------ I am the sole owner of all comments/statements made by myself, and they do not represent those of my company in any way.

Aren’t most of MS major applications (Outlook, Office, Media Player, IE, etc) using MFC in some sort of way. I just can’t believe that MS would up and leave MFC… they would have too much code to convert over to new libraries.. .sure a power house like MS could do that – they have the $ and man/women power, but at what cost to them and the end user? Unfortunately as technology continues to evolve certain technologies will become obsolete, as developers I feel it is part of our job to be able to handle this. But I do not think MFC is going away any time soon, and to jump ship just yet might be a little premature. But that’s just my 2 cents. ------ I am the sole owner of all comments/statements made by myself, and they do not represent those of my company in any way.

Well after 7 years of loyal service my home 17” monitor bit the dust. I have always used a 17”, but since I have to buy a new monitor I am going to go up in sizes. Currently I run my resolution at 1152x824. Well I am deciding between a 19” and a 21”. It’s about a $200 difference, but I really like my brothers 21”… it’s really nice. Both of the monitors I am looking at have the same max resolution, just one has more screen space. So my question to everyone is what monitor size you are currently using, and everyone’s experience/thoughts on the (tv – like) 21” monitors :) Thanks! ------ I am the sole owner of all comments/statements made by myself, and they do not represent those of my company in any way.

Sub domains are fairly easy to implement, most servers these days have nice GUI interface to do so.
